“And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”
-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, Book 2, Chapter 3
CONTEMPT FOR VOTERS: "For a lot of Republican voters, they were extremely disheartened by last Tuesday’s election results... Republican voters actually do want their Senate to be part of reclaiming the country. Whether that means codifying some of Trump’s achievements that he’s done through executive order, dealing with Temporary Protected Status or refugee reform, border control, or H-1B visa issues... they also worry that Thune doesn't know what it's gonna take to win those independents back who were willing to vote for Republicans just a couple of years ago if he didn't even know what to do in the last two years." @MZHemingway
@justin_hart Correct.
I've always hated the sit-down-shut-up approach to parenting. We have really exciting & sometimes intense dinner conversations & they are a blast.
To the men and women who served and serve their country, including many of my family members, my sister and I wanted to honor you as we walked the Washington Mall at midnight a few weeks ago.
We stopped at the WWII Memorial to remember the finest man who ever lived, our grandfather Ross W Palmer, an Army veteran of the South Pacific.
@JasontheLayman No. It's the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I cannot deny it, but I wish you well in your journey to find a church with more & better fruits than ours, just as Christ admonished his disciples to do.
Remember, the ballots counted after Election Day only ever trend in one direction.
How strange.
(Because Paul blocked me, I can't seem to retweet his stuff, so here's a screenshot.)
@PacoTorresCA Oh, spreading misinformation, huh? What did I misinform everyone about? You're alright with ballots still coming in a week after Election Day?
Way to inspire confidence Paco!
P.S. California is not a democracy. Stop spreading misinformation.
He lied to the people of California when he said he would respect their vote on the death penalty. Then he lied to the crime victims when he put a moratorium in place, and now he is once again doing what he wants, not what the voters want. I have met many of these families and interviewed them for the State Senate. Annie was 6 when this horrific tragedy occurred. I never had an opportunity to meet her, only Marc Klaas.
If there was any doubt that @XavierBecerra will be @GavinNewsom third term, Becerra just named @LindseyCobia as Senior Adviser.
Cobia had been rumored to be extremely close to Newsom, to the point that @JenSiebelNewsom is u happy when they travel together.
It's just corrupt clientelism all the way down
In 2020, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla directed $35 million in taxpayer money to a firm run by Anita Dunn—a senior strategist for Biden’s presidential campaign—for “voter outreach”
